Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

SpainOur room this time was facing the high street so was very noisy. I also asked for a room with walk in shower as I've had knee surgery but I had to climb into a bath which was not ideal for me. The shower had NO power so you didn't feel clean after it. The rooms need power showers as the water pressure is so bad. We also decided to try breakfast this time well we was expecting 1 a menu 2 a choice of some continental bits eg cereals pastries chopped fruit yoghurt etc but you was only a fried option which neither of us really enjoy eating these days and for £13 a head we felt expensive for what you got. I asked for some marmalade for my toast and was given apricot jam !! Just not the same. I'm vegi so do find fried breakfast boring. Hubby said his was OK but not very hot. We asked for coffee which came in a small teapot for 2 people think you need to invest in some coffee pots. Having said all this we will still stay with you again but definately wont have breakfast. The bedside lights also need to be made a bit brighter as we couldn't read by them.
We stay here because it's next door to my brother so handy for us. We had another nice room but preferred the room we had on first stay here (read below for why). The place has been refurbed so the room are nice.

United KingdomMy friend’s room was at the front overlooking the main street and was noisy. The entrance thru the pub downstairs would benefit from some investment. The back of the hotel and car park had stuff dumped and could have been more welcoming without hardly any expense.
The Manager, the location, the bed, the linen and towels. My bedroom was at the back but quiet.

United KingdomAs mentioned in several reviews before, as the Swan is also a pub, it might be quite noisy.
Nice location in the centre of Hythe. Car park spaces in the back - and a very nice restaurant next by. Free toiletries and buiskits/tea provided. Good value for money.

United KingdomThere were floodlights outside our bedroom window which were left on all night so our room was flooded with light making it difficult to sleep. It was also noisy till midnight. Breakfast was £12 each for me and my 12 year old and we got a glass of juice , a cup of tea and a cooked breakfast which was a bit greasy and not very tasty. We decided not to have breakfast the second day despite them already charging us Not enough staff around to speak to about issues.
It was in a good location and had private parking

United KingdomThe bar area was not as pleasant for a family to stay in for a drink or a meal - therefore we went elsewhere which was a shame
The hotel facilities were very good and the rooms were of a good size and clean with everything you need.

United KingdomThe steps from the car park and the size of the car park, thankfully didn't need to move my car since I parked it as it was blocked in by other guests. Shower power was very poor and the water wasn't very hot in the morning. (Hot tap on full, cold was off!) We had two rooms, one of them had an awful stench, like boiled Brussel sprouts or stagnant water.
The location was excellent, beds were comfy.

United KingdomThe wait on arrival, while customers at the bar were given priority. To be fair we didn’t have to wait very long, but it was long enough with two tired little boys.
It was very convenient for the Channel Tunnel terminal. The room absolutely as expected. All good.

United KingdomStairs outside to get to carpark are dangerous expecially when wet. Not very family friendly as there were tiled steps going into the bathroom and the code lock wasn't very convenient.
It was lovely and warm and good size for room.

United KingdomThe layout of the room and en-suite bathroom is not helpful, and perhaps not particularly safe. There are two steps up into the bathroom, and in the night it would be easy to slip when needing the toilet. There is some noise from the bars and outside, but it stopped around 10.30pm. The heating in the room is not easy to operate, and get the temperature you might desire. On departure (10am) there was nobody around to assist you with your luggage etc. I had a wait on arrival when checking in, which I guess was just unfortunate. It is a small hotel with may be 10 rooms, and several guests arrived at the same time to check in. Average value. If the car park was full, Hythe is not an easy place to park.
I have stayed at this hotel before, and is reasonably satisfactory, and better priced than many other establishments in Hythe. The staff are helpful and friendly, but not the easiest to understand. I stayed on a room only basis, as I did not require food. The room was comfortable, reasonably lit, and most things worked OK (but not the shaving light over the bathroom mirror). The room was clean and the en-suite had a bathtub and shower over (my preference). There is free parking available if there is room in the car park.

United KingdomThe entrance and exit to the car park is dangerous. There are steps to the door to exit the pub, and after dark you could be attacked, or slip, as the steps are steep and slippery.
The room was clean spacious comfortable, and plenty of refreshments provided, including water and biscuits. Very nice to see.

United Kingdom1. PLEASE replace the bath plug! The pop-up plug does not keep the water in, which meant that I could not enjoy a bath, which I so needed after a long day. 2. Please fit window stays so that it is possible to open the windows without them blowing about in the wind. 3. Please supply more milk and tea bags. Most people need at least 2 of those 'finger' sachets per cup. You supplied 4 sachets and 3 tea bags. Not enough. 4. Please fit a simple reading light for the single bed. Even something that clips onto the headboard would have been fine. 5. Please create a breakfast menu rather than just asking customers what they would like.
Room (Appledore) was clean, and appeared to be recently decorated. Comfy beds, lovely bedding, deep pile soft carpet. USB charging sockets. Happy with my full-English breakfast (£12 extra). Kids had fried egg sandwiches. Happy to support a high street pub/hotel rather than a big chain hotel.
